A juicy life change...

More than a month ago, TL started talking my ear off about buying a juicer. I couldn't wrap my head around why, so I kept brushing him off and talking him out of getting one.

Then, we went to visit his brother, Joe. Joe had already purchased a juicer, weeks before - and he started raving about it and how it's changed his whole idea of nutrition and made him a healthier person.

So I caved. We bought a juicer.

A breville juicer.

Then, we went to Costco and stocked up on enough fruits and veggies to feed a small village. {Much cheaper than buying at the grocery store}

Studies have shown that more than 90% of the nutritional value of fruits and vegetables is in the juice. If you need more information about why juicing is beneficial, look here.

Here is my main reason why I think juicing may be good for me... to sit down and eat 3 large carrots, 4 leaves of kale, 2 apples, 4 celery stocks, and 15 grapes would be pretty hard for me to do. But throwing them in a juicer, and drinking it up is fast, tastes good - and filled me up.

OK you MUST have read my mind. I was literally on Macy's website yesterday contemplating what juicer to buy. I hear the Breville's are awesome so I need your opinion. I don't necessarily want to spend that much if I don't HAVE to and there's another brand / juicer that will do the same for a little less. Will you give me your opinion?! Is it worth it or have you heard of any others that are just as good? :)thanks chicky!

I've done a little juicing - but definitely want to do more! I've been trying so hard to eat more whole foods and raw fruits/veggies, and juicing them would definitely help me fill my quota. And girl, you weren't kidding about buying all the fruits and veggies at Costco! Good for you guys :)

Ok, I am SO glad you posted this! The past couple weeks Eric has been telling me he wants a juicer. I could not for the life of me figure out why he'd be interested in that. But hey, I am all for it now that I see how many fruits and veggies you can cram into a healthy drink :)
